Tracy H. (FiberBabble) - reviewed on 3/3/2008 + 33 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

I listened to the unabridged CD audio book. The back of the case says, in part, "Max Barry's hilarious vision of the near future...."

Well, not so much. I kept listening because the plotlines held the promise of something much more, but it just ended up being nine or more hours of my life that I won't get back. It's not that the book is bad, it's just that there's nothing funny in it. The employees taking the name of their employer is mildly amusing, but seriously...

The book had a lot of storylines that merged and veered; the elements were there to provide a big-bang ending, but it just kinda fizzled to an end.
